Hmm, do those letters stand for my nick or for extra-terrestrial? ;)

(Guinevere, I must add one essential clue - I am using a work which I think has not been quoted so far on the thread. I do hope you have it - if not, it won't be used again.)

Guinevere 12-22-2006 02:08 PM

Thank you for the clue, Esty! :)
It must be from the Father Christmas letters, since that's a most appropriate book for this season.

and I already can see who is speaking: the North Polar Bear!

I must go and help pack. I don't know what Father Christmas would do without me. He always forgets what a lot of packing I do for him.

Estelyn Telcontar 12-22-2006 04:03 PM

That's it, Guinevere! I'm glad you have the book - I wasn't sure. Your turn.

Guinevere 12-26-2006 07:30 AM

I hope you all had a nice Christmas! :)

Here is something to guess, for those who have time.

Estelyn Telcontar 12-28-2006 12:22 AM

Well, well, what do you know - North Polar Bear is a vegetarian?!
Quote:

I do not eat
turkey or meat:
I stick to the sweet.
Which is why
(as all know) I
am so sweet myself,
you thinuous elf!
Goodby!
(Father Christmas Letters, 1938)
(Alas, I have enjoyed goodly portions of both turkey and sweets over the holidays and will have to eat less and walk more afterwards...)

Guinevere 12-28-2006 09:06 AM

That's it, Esty, well done!

The squabbles between NPB and Ilbereth always make me chuckle. "He means fatuous" "No, I don't. You're not fat, but thin and silly." :D :D

Such an easy one, I'm disappointed I didn't see it sooner, Farmer Giles of Ham is one of my favourites:

It don't seem sense to me to let a dragon know that you are coming along the road sooner than need be.

Estelyn Telcontar 12-29-2006 10:30 AM

That's right, TM! You're next.
